I object to this one:

It should be:

- 'play' on file: play the currently displayed song and then stop 
when it finishes.

just like this:

>- 'play' on url: play this stream, and stop when the stream finishes

It's not the scanning of directories that's slow, its the grabbing of 
ID3 information from each file.

Two ideas:

1. Cache the ID3 information for each song in the "current directory" 
and the "current playlist".

2. Fork the process (sorry Windows and Mac users) when responding to 
the web request (after any changes to the control or playlist have 
been made).  That way the speed of the connection back to the web 
client doesn't slow down the IR UI or playback.
